Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + K₂S(aq) → PbS(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
Pb⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + K₂⁺(aq) + S⁻(aq) → PbS(s) + K₂⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
Pb⁺(aq) + S⁻(aq) → PbS(s)

Answer:
Pb^(2+)(aq)+2S^(2-)(aq)\rightarrow PbS(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:


Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+K_2S(aq)\rightarrow PbS(s)+2KNO_3(aq)


Pb^(2+)(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+2K^+(aq)+S^(2-)(aq)\rightarrow PbS(s)+2K^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are potassium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation is:

Hence, the net ionic equation is
Pb^(2+)(aq)+2S^(2-)(aq)\rightarrow PbS(s)
